Jared M. Strauss
How Judge Strauss decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
In Social Security appeals he recommends affirming the Commissioner where substantial evidence supports the ALJ, denying the claimant's summary-judgment motion and granting the Commissioner's.
“3. Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment [ECF No. 18] is GRANTED.”
Procedural preferences
He recommends denying a motion to compel arbitration without prejudice where a genuine factual dispute exists over whether the plaintiff actually agreed to arbitrate.
“The Report [ECF No. 69] is AFFIRMED AND ADOPTED. Defendants' Motion to Compel Arbitration and Dismiss Plaintiff's Complaint [ECF No. 48] is DENIED without prejudice. ... A bench trial will be held pursuant to 9 U.S.C. Section 4 to determine the limited issue of whether Plaintiff timely opted out of arbitration.”
Cautions
He recommends dismissing a federal claim barred by Communications Decency Act Section 230 immunity -- e.g. a Trafficking Victims Protection Act claim against the owner of an online platform.
“Magistrate Judge Strauss's R&R [ECF No. 73] is ACCEPTED and ADOPTED in full. The Plaintiff's Objections [ECF No. 74] are OVERRULED. ... Fenix's Motion to Dismiss [ECF No. 65] is GRANTED. Count I of the Plaintiff's Second Amended Complaint [ECF No. 63] is DISMISSED with prejudice. ... The Plaintiff's Motion to Amend [ECF No. 75] is DENIED.”

Defendants' Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff's Complaint (DE [18]) is GRANTED ... All causes raised herein by complaint are DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.”

“Magistrate Judge Strauss recommends granting in part and denying in part Defendant's Motion to Tax Costs and awarding Defendant taxable costs in the amount of $4,663.25 ... Defendant's Motion to Tax Costs [ECF No. 131] is GRANTED IN PART AND DENIED IN PART.”
R&R on competency rather than a party motion. Strauss recommended, and Judge Ruiz adopted over the defendant's objections, a finding that Xavier Rivers was competent to stand trial or enter a plea, crediting Dr. Katherine E. Sunder's testimony in the absence of a contrary expert opinion. The disposition demonstrates Strauss's criminal competency-referral work.
